It would be nice to know the application is actually submitted.

Didi you send in the bar code?

After almost a week and a half, I'm still just getting the "verbiage" page, so I called today and they told me they just inputed my system in yesterday, so I should see an update page in a few days.

What are "Born out of Country Documents"?
I assumed Report of Consular Birth and scanned that old doc and attached, I guess we shall see.
Lucky I still have that ancient scroll.......

I was born in Mexico, while my Parents were on vacation, so for me the paperwork is a "Certificate of Citizenship", that I had to scan and make a copy of on my original application in 2010. Luckily I have kept my CHL file on my computer and still have all my documents digitally. So I sent that in vis the websites secure mail program.

What had messed me up though, is that I forgot about the requirement to call in or send a copy of the bar code, so I have seen no updates on my renewal. After coming on here last night and seeing that I needed to do that, I again make a jpeg copy and sent it in last night via the secure system. So hopefully in the next few days, I'll actually see an update page instead of the

"CHL APPLICATION STATUS: If you have a pending CHL application, please allow sufficient time for processing. If you have not already done so, please submit all of the items listed on the checklist you received. DPS will notify you by mail if further information or additional documents are required.

" page I've been staring at for a week, wondering what I did wrong.

Good thing though, is my CHL is still good till March, I just decided to renew both my DL and CHL at the same time, and give me a few month buffer incase there were any unforeseen issues.
